I've been modelling, painting miniatures and wargaming since I was a wee lad in Swansea, this blog details some of my interests - I hope that you like it.
In 2010 I started a new modelling venture - building 40mm AWI/ACW terrain pieces and designing 28mm masters, which are then cast and available for sale from Grand Manner. - All original images and text are copyright of A. S. Harwood (Dampfpanzerwagon)

The Pledge for June 2012

The Pledge for June is quite advanced as The Lowland Rats (see earlier posts) were finished earlier than expected. However rather than give details and post images of the miniatures I am working on for June, I thought I would tease you with this single image of the hand painted flag which I will be using for this particular regiment. Obviously it is a Flintloque regiment, therefore the traditional or historical 'N' has been replaced by a 'M', for Mordred. The flag is painted on to a sticky-back label and will be wrapped around the flag pole with a square of tomato purée tube sandwiched between the images to add some body.

Any ideas?

The main area of the flag is 24mm x 24mm and was first drawn in pencil before being painted in acrylics. OK, it might be obvious, but I like the idea of keeping my readers in suspense.

About Me

Born and brought up in Swansea, South Wales, I now live in Droitwich with my wife Sue. My daughter Holly is now working as a teacher in Stourport. My son, Gary lives in Leamington Spa with his Wife Beckie and our two Grandsons Finley and Charlie, but I still think of myself as a 'Jack' (an in-joke known to those of a certain age who count Swansea as their home town). Like my Grandfather, my Father and Uncle, I have made models, painted toy soldiers and wargamed since I was a very young boy and now feel privileged that I have the time to dedicate to my hobby. This Blog is a great way recording how I have developed as a modeller, but it's not ALL about model making. I hope you enjoy it. Tony
